Late for a very important date.

Editor’s note:Do you need something to smile about? Every day, WND selects the best joke offered up by readers and contributors to its Laughlines forum and brings it to you as the WND Joke of the Day. Here is today’s offering:

A police officer in a small town stopped a motorist who was speeding down Main Street.

“Officer,” the man began, “I can explain.”

“Just be quiet,” snapped the officer, “I’m going to let you cool your heels in jail until the chief gets back.”

“But, officer, I just wanted to say …”

“And, I said to keep quiet! You’re going to jail!”

A few hours later the officer looked in on his prisoner and said, “Lucky for you the chief is at his daughter’s wedding. He’ll be in a good mood when he gets back.”

“Don’t count on it,” answered the fellow in the cell, “I’m the groom.”
